Easter memories from YBBG

Easter OOTD

Getting up early for Sunrise Service and seeing all the colorful Easter Sunday fashion, is just the superficial part of the holiday that makes it special. Then there are the Easter baskets of my youth and the breakfasts eaten at church.

I remember one year I had the chicken pox and I could not eat the candy from my basket. It was awful! I actually remember who gave me the chicken pox... I think you owe me an Easter basket, Eric and Hasson!

Oh, and let me not forget the Easter speeches. My Sunday school teacher always gave me some of the longer speeches to memorize and recite, growing up. Which I found completely unfair when my older cousin got up and merely said: "Jesus wept". O_D

The main event of Easter and the Spring holiday season is the Resurrection for Christians. It is the event that changed the lives of many who follow the Christian faith. So for us, the holiday is not supposed to be about outfits and Easter baskets or bunnies, but a truly HOLY day.

Someone recently asked me if I felt that everyone who is baptized will go to Heaven. The person went on to ask me if I felt it was okay for people to be baptized more than once. I'm still trying to figure out why I was asked all of these question. I speak of my beliefs, but not in a manner of trying to win people over. The questions really came from out of nowhere.

That person and anyone else will tell you that the last thing I do is attempt to force feed my faith. The baptism in Christian faith is the method in which we come into the faith. But salvation is more than baptism. The Resurrection speaks to the salvation.

The crucifixion, the death, and the Resurrection of Christ is what binds us to our salvation as Christians. Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 16:1-20; Luke 24:1-49; John 20:1-21:25
